Abstract

Introduction: System-level initiatives are key to promoting health and well-being among young families, yet agencies and organizations who support those families often do not coordinate their delivery of supportive services and resources. We describe the South Carolina (SC) two-generation (2Gen) community of practice (CoP) and its early efforts to foster statewide adoption of "whole family" centered approaches.

Method: This mixed-methods study evaluated the impact of the CoP. Quantitative data were gathered from CoP participants to assess its impact on their increased knowledge and use of the 2Gen approach, as well as on new peer connections and individual professional development. Qualitative data were gathered on the perceived value of the CoP, as well as opportunities for growth.

Results: Data indicate that SC 2Gen CoP meetings have been well received by participants. Data from meeting evaluations demonstrate that the information increased participants' knowledge on the 2Gen approach and that it contributed to their growth and professional development. Meetings have also been effective in promoting connections between like-minded professionals, as well as in providing useful information to integrate 2Gen approaches into their work.

Discussion: These early findings demonstrate the continued need for the SC 2Gen CoP and its potential to grow into a robust outlet to support family-serving professionals in SC. More efforts are needed to promote systems coordination and integration among family-serving professionals. CoPs are one way to integrate system-level strategies, such as the 2Gen approach, to support family-serving professionals and enhance the integration of resources provided to families.

南卡罗来纳州两代人实践社区的发展和早期成功,以支持家庭服务专业人员。
导言:系统层面的倡议是促进年轻家庭健康和幸福的关键,然而支持这些家庭的机构和组织往往没有协调他们提供的支持性服务和资源。我们介绍了南卡罗来纳州(SC)两代人实践社区(CoP)及其为促进全州采用以 "整个家庭 "为中心的方法所做的早期努力:这项混合方法研究评估了实践社区的影响。从合作伙 伴关系参与者那里收集了定量数据,以评估其对 2Gen 方法知识增长和使用的影响,以及对新的同伴联系和个人专业发展的影响。此外,还收集了定性数据,以了解 CoP 的感知价值以及成长机会:结果:数据表明,南加州大学 2Gen CoP 会议深受与会者欢迎。会议评估数据表明,这些信息增加了与会者对 2Gen 方法的了解,有助于他们的成长和专业发展。会议还有效地促进了志同道合的专业人员之间的联系,并为将 2Gen 方法融入他们的工作提供了有用的信息:这些早期研究结果表明,南卡罗来纳州 2Gen CoP 仍有存在的必要,并有可能发展成为一个强大的渠道,为南卡罗来纳州的家庭服务专业人员提供支持。需要做出更多努力,促进家庭服务专业人员之间的系统协调和整合。CoPs 是整合系统级战略的一种方式,如 2Gen 方法,以支持家庭服务专业人员并加强为家庭提供的资源整合。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
